Structural beams are used in bridges, buildings, and homes. Cantilevers are horizontal pieces supported at one end or both ends and unsupported in between. Cantilever deflection is the vertical movement when loads are added. Cantilevers are used in bridges for design or terrain restrictions, and in buildings for open floor plans. Cantilever deflection depends on […]
Structural steel and reinforced concrete are used to support buildings. Architects design beam structures to resist various stresses, including tension and compression. The size of the beam, materials used, and weight of objects placed on it affect beam deflection. Cantilevers and vibration also affect design. Many buildings use structural steel framing to support the weight […]
